About Richard Hartles
Your next move deserves someone who has worked through every layer of this business.
I measure success by more than the number on the contract.
Selling or buying a home is one of the biggest decisions most people will make. It deserves someone who treats it that way from the first conversation.
I lead Hartles & Co, a twelve-person real estate team working across Hamilton and the wider Waikato. My approach comes down to one belief: look after people properly, and everything else follows. Not a strategy. Just how I operate.
That means listening first, speaking plainly, and measuring success by more than the number on the contract. A good outcome and a good experience should never be separate things. You deserve both.
Our team has been named RateMyAgent's Team of the Year for New Zealand two years running, and I have been ranked among the North Island's top ten agents in that same stretch.
But the number closest to my heart is different: most of what we do now comes from people we have already helped, and the friends and family they send my way.
A rising tide lifts all boats, and that is what I want for every client who trusts us with something this significant.
If you are thinking about your next move, even if it is only an early thought, I would be glad to talk it through with you.

Testimonials
Richard exceeded all my expectations with selling my house. Richard’s positive, honest, professional and personable touch gave me so much confidence, peace and assurance throughout every part of the process. Every step of the campaign was given the highest level of thought and care.
I felt valued, listened to, and involved which made the entire experience feel smooth and effortless. I still can’t quite believe that the house sold only nine days after being listed on the market – we only had one open home!
This weekend, instead of preparing for our second open home, we were celebrating with neighbours and friends – I am still buzzing with excitement. Now we can focus on preparing for our next chapter with confidence and certainty – thank you so much Richard and the Lugton’s dream team!- Donella
Richard and his team were a fantastic support, from advice around presenting our home to the intricacies of disclosures and conditions.
The photos were beautiful, the marketing was on point, and after a week we were presented with numerous offers that blew my mind. Richard then helped us find our new home.
There were ups and downs but in the end we landed a gorgeous home which was beyond our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the support and guidance Richard provided.- Cody and Lee
We have been thoroughly impressed with the service provided by Richard and the team. From start to finish they were highly personable and quick for a laugh, but also professional and efficient with the multitude of tasks required.
We appreciated both practical advice and support, and always felt that they had our best interests in mind. We are so thrilled at the final result, and can’t wait to start the next chapter in our new home.- Lauren and Ben
Richard gave us an immediate sense of confidence understanding and trust with his demeanour and knowledge of all things real estate
Richard and his team carefully guided us through the process of selling while advising us on helpful ideas to enhance the profile of our house
Richard is a very positive realtor but he doesn’t inflate the expectation of price buyer interest and ultimately a SOLD result.- Renier
